Welcome,

Sorry about the troubles. My first thought is to check ALK. Did you dose anything into the tank before this started? Light should not cause as rapid a change as far as I know.

I would still say list your water parameters even though you say it is fine. Also a little bit about your lights and flow could help.

Here are my water parameters:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10
PH - 8.2
Alkalinity - 9
Calcium - 400
Phosphate - .2

PAR level where the coral is in the tank is about 300
moderate flow

Here are my water parameters. I think they are all fine:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10
PH - 8.2
Alkalinity - 9
Calcium - 400
Phosphate - .2
Salinity - 1.0255
PAR level where the coral is in the tank is about 300
moderate flow

For the first 5 days it looked fine, then all of the sudden it looks like this.

Hi!

 

[Macbalacano]

I recently acquired a red montipora from a friend exactly one week ago and all of the sudden, the tissue appears to be falling off. Within about six hours it is almost all white. All of my water parameters are in line and the only thing I can think of is my lighting may be different and/or stronger than his. I also read about rapid tissue necrosis and didn’t know if that was a possibility either. Not sure how to tell what the causes. I am really stumped here. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Welcome!

Sounds like to much light. Mine does it if i bump the lights up. So i just leave them on a setting that i know everything is happy.
